How do you set up the Xservers config file to fire off X servers on
remote workstations and x-terminals? Also, what differences are there
between x-terminals with local servers and those without, with regards to xdm?
Thanking you in advance,
jon

(It could probably be kludged to do so when some sort of remote command execution is available.) Instead, you would tell the remote server where it should go asking for xdm service. Our X-terminal -3/50s run their servers with -query <xdm-host>, which make them use that host's xdm daemon. > Also, what differences are there between x-terminals with local > servers and those without, with regards to xdm? How can an X-terminal not have a local server? der Mouse old: mcgill-vision!mouse new: mouse@larry.mcrcim.mcgill.edu
